Joanne O'Brien
Hi, I’m Joanne O’Brien—your go-to travel planner for unforgettable group adventures! ✈️🌍
I specialize in group and special interest travel, bringing together anywhere from 30 to 175 happy travelers for experiences that are equal parts smooth sailing and pure fun. From river cruises and ocean voyages to land-based adventures, I love helping groups explore the world together.
With my background in crafts, I’ve discovered the magic of combining hobbies with travel—think knitting on a river cruise, quilting in a European inn, or crocheting on deck with ocean views. 🧶✨
And here’s the best part: no matter who you are, I can build the perfect trip for your group!
✔️ Wineries – wine-themed European tours 🍷
✔️ Breweries – hops-inspired river cruises 🍺
✔️ Golf Clubs – tee times in tropical destinations ⛳
✔️ Influencers – host retreats and connect with your community 🌟
✔️ Birthday Parties – celebrate big milestones at sea 🎉
✔️ Knitting & Quilting Groups – creative retreats on land or at sea 🪡🧵
✔️ Crafters & Creatives – crochet, arts, and more 🎨
I’ve also led volunteer groups abroad, from community enhancement projects in Belize to building schools and supporting vision missions in Jamaica. These trips prove that when people travel together, incredible things happen.
Before travel stole my heart, I worked in social work and sales—skills that help me connect with people, listen to what matters most, and make every detail count. And when I’m not planning adventures, I’m busy being a proud wife and mom of two, creating my own family memories (and daydreaming about our next adventure together!). 💕
